My Take
Shannon Tweed is a survivor of show business in a way I genuinely respect. Born in St. John's, Newfoundland, she rose through modeling, was named Playboy's Playmate of the Year in 1982, and became a recognizable face of the erotic-thriller genre across dozens of films. What interests me more, though, is the durability underneath the glamour: she built a long career on her own terms and a stable family life as Gene Simmons' longtime partner and eventual wife. There's a toughness to navigating Hollywood that long while keeping your footing, and that mix of glamour and grounded grit makes her more interesting than the labels suggest.
